Component actions

Component actions in Workflow apps provide a dynamic and interactive user experience by enabling real-time responses to UI events such as button clicks, page loads, drop-down value changes, and table row selections. This enables users to complete a range of tasks, including:

• Run recipe: Allow users to complete tasks that involve external systems directly within the app interface.
• Reset/reload components: Clear component values or reload a component after an action is taken.
• Open a webpage: Direct app-users to a specific URL.
• Complete a task: Review, approve, and complete workflow requests within the Workflow apps portal.
• Save data to table: Save workflow request data in a data table.

Compatible components

Specific page components have the Action property which enables you to define the action to take within the page editor. The following table describes available actions and compatible components:

Action	Trigger events	Compatible components
Run recipe (beta)	Button click Drop-down value change Page load Table row selection	Button Single-select drop-down Multi-select drop-down Page (on page load) Table
Reset/reload components’ value	Button click Drop-down value change Table row selection	Button Single-select drop-down Multi-select drop-down Page (on page load) Table
Open a webpage	Button click	Button
Complete task	Button click	Button
Save data to table	Button click	Button

Default actions

Button components must have a defined action. All other component actions have a default state of Do nothing. This means that you must configure components to respond to user actions.

Follow-up actions

You can configure a follow-up action to reset/reload components after an initial run recipe action. If you don’t configure a follow-up action, the default for all components is to Do nothing.
